## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 39 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 5.345.159
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest’s postinstall hook installs a platform-specific native binary, but the available source does not resolve that binary’s behavior. This unresolved executable dependency warrants manual review; the inspected source does not independently establish malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The postinstall hook may install a platform-specific native hook engine. Its implementation could not be reviewed from the available package source, so no attack is confirmed.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook on a supported platform.

- **Impact:** The native binary’s behavior and effects remain unknown from the inspected source.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-hook-engine.mjs, dist/lib/hook-engine/resolve.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T17:33:25.941Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The installer resolves a matching optional platform package and copies its binary into the user’s home directory.

- **Rationale:** The manifest’s postinstall hook installs a platform-specific native binary, but the available source does not resolve that binary’s behavior. This unresolved executable dependency warrants manual review; the inspected source does not independently establish malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** ~/.hq/bin/hq-hook/\<version\>

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The manifest runs a postinstall hook that imports the hook installer., The installer selects a platform-specific optional package and installs its binary under the user’s home directory., The selected native package implementation is not available in the inspected source, so its behavior remains unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** The installer checks that the optional package version matches the CLI version and skips installation when no matching package is found.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of @indigoai-us/hq-cli@5.345.159 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
